SONG — “Show Up or Let Me Go” Verse 1 I kept holding on to pieces of the person you could be. Every promise, every whisper felt like hope you’d give to me. But your effort came in echoes, your love came in waves— here one moment, gone the next, leaving me to fill the space. Pre-Chorus I tried to meet you in the middle, but you never took a step. I kept waiting for your heart in the places you had left. Chorus If you can’t show up, then let me go. I’m done begging for the things you should’ve given on your own. Love shouldn’t feel like trying to pull you from the shadows. If you can’t show up, then I’ll let go. Verse 2 I thought patience was the answer, thought my love could make you stay. But you can’t build a future with someone who won’t choose today. I gave you all the softness you didn’t know what to do with— and I finally learned that leaving is sometimes the truest gift. Bridge I’m not angry, I’m not broken— I’m just done with almosts. I’m choosing me this time, and that’s the part that hurts the most. Final Chorus If you can’t show up, then I’ll let go. I’m done shrinking just to fit inside the places you don’t grow. Love shouldn’t feel like trying to teach someone to care. If you can’t show up, I won’t stay there. ---
